This movie explores a side of pseudo-ghetto life that few movies even try to show. Carlos is a complicated, sensitive and confused young man with great talent and loyalties to family, friends and his God-given talent. He harbors a bit of anger towards his father, whom he believes mistreated his dearly departed mother. Despite the resentment, he still loves his dad and honors him. Romance, drama and adventure are skillfully woven to produce a heart warming tale of triumph and reality that may help an outsider understand the marginal difference between poverty and a semblance of wealth. The thin line between the legitimate hard working businessman and the under-the-table life of opportunistic predators is well documented in this production. Many will see the silver lining of a dark cloud, while others will totally miss the point because they are far too removed from the premise of this movie.
